Differs from the more flaccid green states of B. platyphylla in being more gla- 
rous, the leaves subentire or with very small serratures. The axils of the basal 
eaf-nerves are often 2-glandular.—Hamilton’s specimens are from Goalpara (Assam), 
and more hairy than the others with leaves 7 by 3 in.

shorter than the petioles, erect even in fruit.—Weddell in DC. Prodr. says of this 
that he formerly saw it in Herb. Wall, and then thought it a form or subvar. f 
platyphylla, It is however, a much more temperate plant, and with Clarke I think 
Maast be regarded as distinct, Wallich’s Ava specimen is named B. rugulosa by 
eddell, but the leaves are strictly opposite. The specimen is not in flower.
